insaneguy (01/02/2016) [-] It's super easy, just add a line of code in the font section. Tons of info on how to use all the functions over at docs.rainmeter.net/manual

jonswan (01/02/2016) [-] It's been a while since i used this. but the best things to do is.
Check the forums because there is about 1,000,000% more content their
Hide all icons for your desktop
and choose between Symmetric or Asymmetric design.
Personally, Asymmetric design is a lot better . I usually shift left, it looks better.

baseddeerlord (01/03/2016) [-] Well it's just that a lot of people like the Mac OS look without actually wanting to get a Mac OS which is weird. I personally don't dislike the windows 7 look, although if I had a bigger screen I def. would be rocking some more rainmeter stuff because currently i'm running 1280 x 1024. What is a better OS than windows?

ONLINE (01/03/2016) [-] Linux, I'm talking. It's what I use
The cool thing about Linux is that it lets you customize at a system level. want a macOS like experience? Install pantheon. Want something more like Windows? install Cinnamon. Want something insanely customizable? install KDE 5. Or something fast and sleek? XFCE. Something light that will run fast as **** on potatoes? LDXE. The list goes on, and you can basically tweak these in and of themselves with just a few operations, like adding docks and other stuff you'd have to use Rainmeter for on windows.
I'm not 100% hating windows though, I keep a windows install for gaming dualbooted alongside my ubuntu gnome install, but I just can't stand how much you're locked down on Windows.

baseddeerlord (01/03/2016) [-] I haven't transitioned to linux yet, I had tried it before and it was too much of a *********** , you need to know special codes to install **** and all that stuff. You can barely play games on it too.

baseddeerlord (01/03/2016) [-] Oh **** windows 10, i'm staying with 7 for a long while. So do you use linux only because you have windows 10? Or is it because you code?

ugoboom ONLINE (01/03/2016) [-] I tried Ubuntru on my unused desktop back in april but yeah I couldn't wrap my mind around it
the windows 10 upadte hit and I installed because I wanjted to, but when I found out they made it impossible to add custom full themes even with the hacks, that's what pushed me over the edge
light themed **** sears my retinas, do not want, pic related
I'm indeed a learning web developer but that has pretty much nothing to do with my choice in going linux
but anyway, I used to think using a 6+ year old operating system was normal. it is not. windows is the exception, not the rule, and the fact that people in mass are still running something made in 2009 is baffling. Nobody would use an iPhone with iOS 3.x in 2016. Nobody would use an android running 1.X in 2016. Nobody would use OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in 2016. So why the hell do people think they're not missing out by using Windows 7?
I either use the latest/near latest version of a product, or I don't use it at all, and since windows in 2016 is in such a deep pile of **** , I have no choice but to seek alternatives.

baseddeerlord (01/03/2016) [-] Well for me there is no need to go to windows 10 now, I don't agree with the system monitoring thing, but I might have windows 10 and have like a windows 7 on another partition that I would use to torrent stuff and play on windows 7. But I don't see myself using linux any time soon because I don't see how it would benefit me.

These two are great on Windows, I use Transmission for how dang elegant it is.
Use something FOSS and updated, don't open yourself up to vulnerabilities and lack of features by using outdated clients

I was surprised when this name wasn't taken when i tried. But this wallpaper is what motivated me to try.

OtisMcWonderful (01/02/2016) [-] Why is it that 90% of Rainmeter users have a bunch of useless **** ? Do you really need visualizers, shortcuts to a million programs, and constant hardware monitoring? Just give me simple clocks, RSS feeds, and a non-ricer music "player." Y'know, functional nonfrivolous stuff.

To be fair this is some completely useless stuff
I tend to keep my Desktop clean all the time, but then I realized I use firefox as pretty much my desktop, I open folders and such from the toolbar and have all my work softwares on there too
